Welcome to another edition of Monday Night Indy Pics and this week we're going to venture back into the late 1970's when as a teenager, I had found my way to Drag City in Sackville, Nova Scotia. Please enjoy these photos that I scanned from some old prints that I rediscovered yesterday.
To the best of my knowledge, I captured the first group of photos in 1979 at Drag City Speedway. At that point I would have been using a camera like this and was just collecting photos.
Here's a look at what I found in my old albums.
Then shortly after that, I soon found my way to Alberta and once I was able cobble together the funds to upgrade to a new and better camera, I did just that. There was a learning curve here as I found my way with my new Nikon EM 35mm camera. That would look just like this.
That was a great camera, and produced some images that looked like this. Since that was now about 43 years ago, the photos are far from perfect but I rescanned and uploaded these so they could be enjoyed by anyone who might be into 1980's drag racing photos from Calgary. In 1981 Calgary International suffered a set-back when the new "Deerfoot Trail" actually cut thru a portion of their facility. Things when downhill quickly then.
Well there is another bundle from the dark ages and I hope you enjoy them and share them around as you wish. If you happen to know folks in western Canada that might enjoy these, please share them around, cause they are to be enjoyed.
Play safe and have a fun week.
